坍缩恒星中Blandford-Znajek机制的激活

Activation of the Blandford-Znajek mechanism in collapsing stars

S. S. Komissarov, M. V. Barkov

摘要:

大质量恒星的坍缩可能导致在其内部形成吸积黑洞。吸积的恒星物质可能会将大量的磁通量输送到黑洞上,并通过磁应力促进其旋转能量的释放(布兰德福德-兹纳杰克机制)。在本文中,我们探讨这个过程是否可以解释恒星爆炸和相对论喷流与长伽玛射线暴。特别是,我们表明,布兰德福德Znajek机制被激活时,物质的静止质量-能量密度低于能量密度的磁场在非常附近的黑洞(在其能层)。我们还讨论了这样一个强磁场是否是在冲突中所需的恒星核心的快速旋转的Bracksar模型,并建议,冲突可以避免,如果祖星是一个组成部分的密近双星。在这种情况下,恒星的自转可以通过自旋轨道相互作用来维持。在另一种情况下,磁场是在吸积盘中产生的,但在这种情况下,通过黑洞能层的磁通量预计不会高到足以单独用BZ机制解释超新星的能量。然而,这种能量赤字可以通过磁盘提供的额外功率来恢复。

英文摘要:

Collapse of massive stars may result in formation of accreting black holes in their interior. The accreting stellar matter may advect substantial magnetic flux onto the black hole and promote release of its rotational energy via magnetic stresses (the Blandford-Znajek mechanism). In this paper we explore whether this process can explain the stellar explosions and relativistic jets associated with long Gamma-ray-bursts. In particularly, we show that the Blandford-Znajek mechanism is activated when the rest mass-energy density of matter drops below the energy density of magnetic field in the very vicinity of the black hole (within its ergosphere). We also discuss whether such a strong magnetic field is in conflict with the rapid rotation of stellar core required in the collapsar model and suggest that the conflict can be avoided if the progenitor star is a component of close binary. In this case the stellar rotation can be sustained via spin-orbital interaction. In an alternative scenario the magnetic field is generated in the accretion disk but in this case the magnetic flux through the black hole ergosphere is not expected to be sufficiently high to explain the energetics of hypernovae by the BZ mechanism alone. However, this energy deficit can be recovered via additional power provided by the disk.
